"The imperial jade seal in your hands is a fake one, isn't it?" Francis asked in a cold tone as he peered at the imperial jade seal
Lucas was holding in his hands.
Lucas then began tossing the imperial jade seal between his hands. "What do you think?" he flatly asked.
Francis screwed his eyes slightly. His intuition was telling him that something seemed quite amiss. Yet, as the arrow was on the
bow and poised to strike, he didn't have the time to think too much about it. For as long as Lucas was dead and he himself
became the new emperor, Matthew wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
"Lucas, are you aware that you have committed one more crime—forging the imperial jade seal?!" Francis accused him, waving
his hand and gesturing for all of the guards to attack Lucas together. At that point, he believed that it wouldn't make a difference
even if Lucas was still alive. By doing this, Lucas could be killed and his blood could be used to pay respect to the flag, because
it would become a good omen for his enthronement.
The Regal Guards moved one after another and stood with the palace guards. The head as well as the deputy head of the
palace guards respectively stood on one side of Francis, awaiting his orders.
Putting her hands against the tower wall, Harper leaned forward slightly, trying to take a good look at everything with such
interest in her eyes. "I've heard before that a throne is always built on a pile of bones. But it is not until I see it with my own eyes
today that I believe it's true. It could even be considered humiliating for one to take the throne without stepping on bones."
"As the saying goes, a general achieves renown over the dead bodies of ten thousand soldiers, let alone an emperor," Matthew

said, pulling Harper into his arms. "I'm beginning to get bored just watching from here. What do you say we do something to take
part in it too?"
"Feel free to make this farce end sooner," Harper replied, looking at the discomfited Francis. He had always appeared so gentle

a bit unfair. A handsome man, no matter how disheveled, would still be handsome. Casting Harper a glance, Matthew suddenly snapped his fingers. No one else knew what it meant. But it seemed as though his fingers had magic power, stopping everyone in

the unexpected scene. "Ken works for you?" asked Harper in surprise. Matthew answered gently, "You have only met three of my four strongest guards before. Ken is the fourth one." As it turned out, the head of the palace guards was actually one of the four strongest guards under

"You have so many talented followers around you, darling!" Harper said, giving him a thumbs up. No wonder many people feared
Matthew so much. After all, people whom they thought they were familiar with might turn out to be their enemies in the blink of an
eye.
"I have a lot of capable men around me. I will introduce them to you one by one some other day. Joshua Qi, the general of the
Black Flag Army, is an extremely capable man as well."
Harper couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing that. Of course, she knew that the general who was able to command the entire
Black Flag Army would by no means be a simple man. Even if she wanted to, she couldn't pretend not to know. "Let's get
